I’m a +/0 here. I’ve always had a headache in dealing with this mechanism of dependency managment. I would think we’d do better to rely on on the default dependency management system of the language (e.g. maven). That said, when there is no other mechanism (maybe with C++), then submodules can be acceptable. But they are hard to manage for folks that aren’t particularly adept at git. If it is for C, our expectation of our contributers is that they be quite good, so in that case it is indeed ok.
